Basilisk

Few reptiles are as eye-catching as basilisks are, so they've always been popular among a subset of reptile keepers. Although they aren't as tolerant of human interaction as some other reptiles are, they're value as display specimens is unmatched. However, basilisks require proper care to thrive. So, as when caring for any other pet, new keepers must strive to learn as much as possible about the behavior, ecology and biology of their new lizard. This is the only way to provide them with the highest quality of life possible. Inside, you will find the information necessary to get started keeping basilisks. You will learn about the habitat requirements and nutritional needs of these lizards, as well as the things you need to look for when selecting your new pet.
